You can check www.lindseyracing.com under wastegate installtion instruction. The only difference to the tial is that the ports on the Tial and the lindsey dual port wastegate are the opposite.

Your car is probably not starting now because you blew the head gasket. Good luck.

I could be mistaken but when you blow a head gasket you get alot of smoke right? Well if so then my head gasket should be okay because the car is not smoking any at all.

Using the spring rate of the wastegate to control boost pressure:

Run a new vacuum line directly from the side port of the wastegate to the banjo fitting located on the turbo to intercooler pipe.Note: Make sure there are no restrictors in this line
Cap off the vacuum fitting on the inlet of the turbo.
Disconnect the cyling valve.Note: The cycling valve can be removed entriely since it will not be used anymore.


Using an aftermarket boost controller to control the boost pressure:

Run a new vacuum line from the side port of the wastegate to the to the banjo fitting located on the turbo to intercooler pipe.Note: Make sure there are no restrictors in this line
Put a tee in this line and run it into the "IN" port on your boost controller.
Run a new line from the top of the wastegate to the "Out" port on the boost controller.
Cap off the vacuum fitting on the inlet of the turbo.
Disconnect the cyling valve.Note: The cycling valve can be removed since it will not be used anymore.

If he blew his head gasket and let the car sit for a period of time wouldn't the car be hydro locked by now and would be unable to start????

Glad to say that the car is now able to start fine but I just need to fix the overboosting problem now. I was watching my boost gauge after I put the DME relay all the way back in and in 3rd gear it spiked upto 1.6 bar and I was only maybe 1/2 throttle or so, so I just let off. I am going to use the advice that TurboTim gave and run the vacuum lines like he said.
